KEYNOTE SPEAKER
THE CONFERENCE
Established in February 1996, the Hong Kong Society for Transportation Studies (HKSTS) aims to foster excellence in transportation research and practice, stimulate professional interchange in transportation, and provide a forum for exchanging ideas on transportation developments.
Transport is facing great challenges in the world, including rapid urbanization and consequently increasing travel demands, shift in economic activities, global climate change, deteriorating transport infrastructures and fiscal constraints for transport infrastructure investment. These challenges require adaptation strategies to be developed in transport to support the sustainable development of the society. Advanced methods in transportation and infrastructure research are needed for coping with the dynamic changes occurring in today's complex large-scale multimodal transportation systems. Practitioners and academics are cordially invited to share their knowledge, experience and insights on the design, analysis, planning, operation, engineering, co-ordination and management of transportation systems and their impacts. The technical program may include plenary sessions, paper presentations and interactive sessions.
SUBMISSION OF PAPER
Abstracts (300-500 words) must be received no later than 15 April 2014.
